FPSE – HRISC Speakers Tour 2023

March 10, 2023 by Lynelle Yutani Leave a Comment

Academic Freedom | Monday, March 20th@1pm PT

Although academic freedom is protected under most collective agreements, its use and scope is poorly understood on college and university campuses. This panel will survey a wide variety of examples where academic freedom has been infringed, and explore why faculty are often reluctant to exercise these rights. Discussion will focus on what constitutes academic freedom, its unique history within the academy, and its importance to the advancement of knowledge, creative expression, and the healthy functioning of civil society.

2023 FPSE Human Rights and International Solidarity Speakers Tour The FPSE Human Rights and International Solidarity Committee is proud to present the 2023 edition of the annual Speakers Tour, which will focus on international students and academic freedom.
